Happy Birthday!

We celebrated not one but two birthdays today at Home Sweet Home. Preschool birthday boys, Luca and Jasper, got to 'walk around the sun' in our special birthday ritual.

Luca walked around the sun with older sister, Kisa.

Afterwards, the birthday boys given a chance to show items from the even earlier years of their lives. In the photo, above, you can see the children passing around Jasper's baby photo albums.



Then, of course, it was dessert time.

It's that time of year...

Early this morning, the preschoolers from the Woodstock Education Center campus in Alameda got together and planted small eggplant and zucchini sprouts in our Community Garden. They carefully spooned holes in the dirt for the sprouted plants and got their hands dirty placing them in. Live worms found in the dirt delighted the children but the real excitement will come when they see their plants grow this Spring.
